- Research direction
- The issue describes that the bsp layout does not respect the setting for new windows going to the main pane. Since the issue body is empty, the first step is to reproduce the bug by checking the 'new windows go to main pane' setting in Amethyst's preferences and observing behavior with bsp layout. Then, examine the source code in the Amethyst repository, particularly the BSP layout implementation and the setting handling. Look for where the setting is read and applied during window placement. The last comment or maintainer response might provide additional context; check the issue comments for any hints. Consider testing with different configurations and verifying expected behavior against the code logic.
